Hi, You could try some options for configuring Perl given here: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.pod.orig
specially: % CFLAGS='-m64 -mtune=nocona' ./Configure -des -A ccflags=-fPIC Before doing a make. Thanks, Rommel.

My mod_perl script always causes segmentation fault when it tries to create a thread. I searched the Web and this forum, but there is still no definitive answers. My perl and mod_perl are of pretty recent versions and I check for the inclusion of useithreads config. I wrote a simple script to prove it: use CGI; use threads; use Config; use mod_perl; our $LOGGER; BEGIN { $LOGGER = Apache2::ServerUtil->server->log; $LOGGER->error("testhread starting (CGI version ".CGI->version.")"); } my $q = CGI->new; my $check = defined $Config{useithreads}; $LOGGER->error("useithread? $check"); my $v = mod_perl->VERSION; $LOGGER->error("version $v"); my $thr = threads->create(sub { }); # comment out these two lines will work $thr->join(); # already crashed at the line above $q->header(-status => '200 OK'); It produces logs Aug 20 13:07:50 (4216) [error] testhread starting (CGI version 3.51) Aug 20 13:07:50 (4216) [error] useithread? 1 Aug 20 13:07:50 (4216) [error] version 2.000004 Aug 20 13:07:51 (4159) [notice] child pid 4216 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) Any way I can solve this? Thanks!
